Presentation format

Each PhD student is given 40 minutes in the Doctoral Consortium for presentation, feedback and discussion.

The aim of the consortium is not primarily for the PhD students to present their work to a wider audience, but to get feedback on their work. We suggest using a maximum of 20 minutes on the presentation, to give room for feedback.

We recommend that the students rehearse their presentations with some colleagues/friends beforehand.

Slide structure - instructions for participants

To make the cosortium as efficient as possible, you are asked to prepare a PowerPoint presentation of yourselves and your research project with a maximum of 10 slides in the format described below. This will make it easier for the panel to give relevant feedback that you can of use after the consortium.

Please feel free to use your own style, font etc, as long as you answer the questions. Please keep it short.

The following is a suggestion for structure of the presentations.

Slide 1: You (Your background and your university)

* Name: (You)

* Background: (Education, degrees, work experience)

* Affiliation: (University, department, research group)

* When did you start on the PhD project, how much time is left?:

* Who is your supervisor, and what is his/her background?: (could also include co-supervisors)

* Is the thesis part of some larger research project?:

Slide 2: PhD project and research questions

* Tentative title of PhD: (Does not need to be the title of the final thesis)

* What is the topic of the PhD project?: (Give some background info to help us understand what you are studying)

* What are your research questions?: (As they will appear in the thesis)

Slide 3: Research method and research design

* What is your research method(s)?: (Empirical, design research, experimental,,)

* What is your research design?: (What activities will you do to answer your research questions?)

* What is is the status of the project?: (What has already been done, and what is planned?)

Slide 4: Research presentation

* What format do you plan for? (Monograph, paper collection,,)

* In what research tradition do you belong?: (Social sciences, humanities, engineering, design research,,)

* What are the quality criteria in your research tradition?: (This is a hard question :-) )

Slide 5: What you want feedback on

* List of topics that you want feedback from us the panel and the other PhD students.

Slide 6-10: More about you work,

* Pictures, additional information, examples of empirical data, artifacts etc. if relevant.
